Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ?
@ieales    Thank You for the link, I read it yesterday , very interesting .The question is does it improve the sound ?i.e. does the sound stage increase , get deeper , do you have more of a 3D effect , is the music clearer or sharper ?I asked the ...

Why do you think Bi-Wiring improves the sound ?
It does seem to work for those who have tried it but there is no way to measure or prove why it seems to work .This is why I am asking the question .As for kool-aid  It worked for the Grateful Dead !

@beetlmania I'm glad that you like what your hearing ,more open , clear and dimensional is similar to what TT heard when he tried it , page 155 .Does your preamp have a left / right channel  and mono option ?If this does end up sounding better to ...
